Core Values:  

  • Lost people matter to God. He wants them found.                                                                           (Luke 19:10)
  • Prayer is the primary work of the people of God.                                                                               (Phil 4:6–7)
  • Everything we have belongs to God. We are only stewards.                                                                 (I Chr 29:14)
  • Knowing and obeying God’s Word is fundamental to all true success.                                         (Josh 1:8)
  • Completing the Great Commission will require the mobilization of every fully                                         devoted disciple.                                                                                                                                          (Mt 28:19)
  • Without the empowerment of the Holy Spirit, we can accomplish nothing.                             (I Cor 2:4–5) 
  • Achieving God’s purposes involves taking faith-filled risks. This always                                              involves change.                                                                                                                                                            (Heb 11:6)
